While your comment is absolutely correct and I agree with your suggestion
that ASTA/kbmmw started with datasets and RO/DA started with services, I
don't think it would be fair to DA to suggest that DA is in any way
deficient when it comes to datasets.

In my opinion, Data Abstract handles datasets very well. Conversely you can
do services with kbmmw, although personally I *much* prefer RO/DA's way of
doing services.
